New Men's scarf pattern:
​the Petersfield Scarf

A new winter scarf for the man in your life (or for yourself!) With an edge-to-edge design and a wonderful graduated stripe pattern, the Petersfield Scarf brings a modern vibe to a classical man’s striped scarf.

Strong bands of deepest wine-red contrast with a soft mid-grey for a stunning look. The scarf ends are worked with a lighter stripe effect while the central thick-and-thin banded repeat brings a strong colour focus to the neckline fold or wrap.

The scarf is completely reversible and is easy to work. The pattern includes full line-by-line instructions with three sizes to choose from for your next winter scarf!

New pattern – the Darlington Scarf & Wrap

I have just uploaded a new pattern which is perfect for this time of year – the Darlington Lace Scarf & Wrap. The pattern includes instructions for three different sizes, for a slim scarf in two different lengths and an elegant wrap.

The wrap is perfect to drape around your shoulders for an evening at the theatre or a stroll along the embankment, while the scarves would add a touch of elegance to a more casual outfit. The yarn is a lovely mix of merino wool and bamboo viscose for a warm yet softly draping combination.

The pattern features a beautiful stitch, Darlington Lace, from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. The stitch is light and airy with gently curving ribs between lines of open eyelets.

Where we like to knit
If you click on the "About" tab of this website, you will see that I have a gallery of places where I like to knit, courtesy of my husband Tim's photos. Well, here's another one to add to that collection!

This was during our visit to Sweden last year and the photo shows Anna and I knitting together by Lake Mälaren in the gardens of Grönsöö Palace just to the west of Stockholm.  

​It was gloriously sunny and warm during our visit and it was so enjoyable to be with Anna and her husband.
